Assistance for Families

The Department of Human Services provides family stabilization assistance and other supportive services to enable eligible low-income families to find and retain employment and to provide for their children. Assistance and services provided may include food, childcare, housing and transportation, cash assistance, medical assistance, and help with home heating costs.

Applicants who are either pregnant or have at least one child, and who meet other eligibility requirements, can receive monthly cash assistance payments, help with emergency household expenses, and/or services such as counseling, training, and employment assistance

Medical Assistance

Connect for Health Colorado is Colorado’s Health Insurance Marketplace to apply for financial assistance to help reduce your costs and get access to free, in-person help available statewide.

For adults over age 21 dental and vision benefits may be limited and may incur co-pay for services

Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) is public low-cost health insurance for certain children and pregnant women. It is for people who earn too much to qualify for Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program), but not enough to pay for private health insurance.
